Hey Guys,
All the PCA regions in the NE are starting to require proper race seats for use with 5 point harnesses, so I guess I have to get some What seats have worked well in a teener? I'm a big guy and I've liked the 18" Kirkey's in the past, but I'm not sure what to get. Any ideas? Thanks, Matt |

take a look at ultra sheild road race seats and or kirkely also has some. I had the kirkley circle track version and had to cut one of the rib protectors so my elbow didn't hit it.. Road race version much nicer....

Matt, did you ever try on mine?
it is the ultra shield version. only thing I don't like is the inside comes up too high under my arm. Its ok if I keep my hands on the wheel... |

I have Kirkeys in mine, also. Sometimes I sit in them and pretend I'm actually driving!
The new NER rule is really just havoc with everyone. Guys with stock seats are all screwed, if they want to use their harnesses. Pat |

Mike! Great to hear from you. I won't make Hershey, but I should be around more this year.
Pat - Your definatly right. Other regions are starting to follow. NCR and I believe Zone 1 are making people use there 3 point belts with the harnesses if they don't have a race seat. Do the Kirkey's fit in with the back pad? I'm thinking either the Ultrashield Miata seat or maybe a Corbeua Forza II, but I'm not sure how that would fit. Anyone tried one? Thanks, Matt |
